Alison Sinclair[Phoebe Broome] 'Well, ' she said at last. 'You've now met my father. At his worst.'[ Lord Vladimir] 'Being myself widely considered my family's most difficult member, I would not presume to comment.'' That is... gentlemanly of you.
About This Quote
In this conversation, a young Lord Vladimir is attempting to make a good impression on a very old and wise woman, whom he has just met. He tells her that her father is the most challenging member of her family. She does not seem impressed. He turns to leave, but she calls him back and asks him to comment on the fact that he has been gallant enough to let his opinion be known rather than say something rude.
